ed-All my visitors that night left
about the same time; when / stepped
between Dias and DOwsett, the latter
had not struck Dias; Dowselt did not
have hold Of the policemans horse;
after | stepped in, Dlas Jumped round
me; | then turned off the street, and
saw four or five gentlemen standing at
the gate; next saw Dias plunging into
the midst Of them, and the gate gave
way before them; up to that time Dias
had made no charge against any Of
defendants, nor said he arrested them;
there was no disturbance after we left
the house, nor shouting to my knowl-
edge; we had good time in the house,
singing and enjoying ourselves; did
not hear any shouting at the gate; after
police went through the gate | went
down the street, because | saw one of
the party arrested and wanted to see
who it was, so as to bail him out il
necessary; went to the junction of
Hotel and Richards street; then re.
turned and police dragged me from the
yard; that was the last saw of these
gentlemen; should judge there were
about twenty police there; have seen
Igenerally one policeman stationed at
that point, walking on the opposite
side Of the street; most have seen
there was six, on the night Of the Navy
ball; saw only two mounted police be-
fore the crowd came up; it was Creigh
ton who was in the hands Of the police
when went out; had not seen Creigh'
ton interfere with the police, but heard
him volunteer to hold Dlas' horse il he
wanted to fight, but Dlas refused.
